Fire Weather will begin to creep back in and elevate over the next few days. Gusty northwest winds today coupled with temperatures near 70° and relative humidity falling into the low to mid-20% range will prompt significant drying of fuels. The highest fire danger today will be focused along and east of the I-35 corridor to approximately Hwy. 99 (Osage County in the north to Marshall County in the south). Tall grass and unsheltered fine fuels will quickly dry and support the potential for rapid fire growth due to decreasing relative humidity and winds gusting to near 30 mph this afternoon.
